One year ago today.....

On this day at about this time last year being the owner of a new Camaro was just a dream, one that involved me getting on the Chevy website daily and building my "dream". At lunch that day I got a call from my husband asking me to meet him at the dealership at 2 that afternoon because he needed a ride home that his truck was not running right and they were needing to keep it overnight. So after arguing with him for a few mins about leaving work 4 hrs early to pick him up 40 mins away from where I work I finally gave in. I was MAD!!! HOWEVER a few hours later when I arrived at the dealership my madness went away and was overcome by pure joy, and the well known permagrin as I walked around the corner of our dealership to be greeted by my family and all the employees of the dealership along with a BEAUTIFUL 2010 IOM Camaro SS and I was handed the keys!! I couldn't believe it! It was MINE!! ALL MINE!! And to this day the has done nothing but grow for that beautiful Camaro!! And of course for the worlds greatest husband!! Seven months of secrecy from everyone including my kids who can't keep a secret! Kuddos to them!!

HAPPY 1 YEAR ANNIVERSARY TO ME AND MY CAMARO!! May there be many many more!!

HAHA... but it took you hours to get to the dealership?! I let my wife drive my car yesterday and she tore it up. She said it'll be a while before she drives it to work or anywhere for that matter. It's really my car, but it's for all of us. Very cool of him to surprise you with one of your own.
